Hollywood legendary director

The next morning, Lyman was still lying in bed, not wanting to get up.

Eva went to try the outfit early in the morning, and he was the only one left in the manor except the housekeeper.

Moreover, in the past two weeks for filming, he was basically in a fast-paced state, detached at once, and slack and quickly occupied his body.

But at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he still had to rush to the Oscar dinner.

Under the usual arrangement of the organizing committee, Lehman also met Cameron, who did not show up after the roadshow.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Lyman quipped.

"I know what you want to say, but I have a good relationship with her. We are not enemies, but we can't live together." Cameron still had a very calm face, but soon he broke the defense.

In the interview area.

The reporter didn't care what would happen to "Avatar", all focused on his private part.

"Do you still love her?"

"Have you met her?"

"How do you feel now, seeing her nominate the best director and compete with you?"

The media were so excited that they kept asking questions.

Cameron thought he was mentally prepared and planned to give his heartfelt blessings, but when he encountered this, his face still collapsed.

He didn't answer a word, and walked away from the press surrounded by reporters, followed by Lyman who wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh.

He could think of the headline of the report tomorrow: Catherine, the woman who made Cameron sigh.

However, putting aside the sorrows and not sorrows, Cameron and Catherine have a very good relationship. The two met in the hall and gave a kind hug.

Of course, the result is destined.

"Avatar" is too hot, some old antiques of the organizing committee naturally don't like movies with excellent box office and then go to the Olympics. Watching Catherine take the stage to accept the award, Lyman found Cameron sincerely applauded. , There is no trace of mourning at all.

Also, for directors like them, the Olympic Awards are no longer considered gold.

The viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the TV were surprised, but "The Hurt Locker" catered to the recent mainstream anti-war trend-calling for the chief to withdraw troops from Iraq, plus the positive propaganda to the army, the story was well shot, This award is nothing.

Lehman understood it this way. The 82nd Olympiad was already very politicized, but Liam explained from another angle why the public relations team was a little surprised.

"Boss, don't you know? The producer of "The Hurt Locker", Dingfeng Entertainment, didn't spend much money on public relations at all, and even made jokes about email canvassing. They didn't even want to spend the money for banquets."

"It's not good to say that, in a business like Oscar, if you don't even invest in the entrance fee, how could those old antiques like it?"

"But its biggest advantage is that it caters to the political trend, and there are too many old-fashioned old white men in the judges-you know what I mean."

"It's not enough. I feel that our project has paved the way for orthodox movies like "The Hurt Locker"." Liam replied.Although it is just a guess, it can actually be analyzed.

"However, you just said that Summit Entertainment is short of money. Is there a problem with their capital chain?"

"They are just a small company that started on consignment sales. Last year was not good. How could they have a better life, boss, this is the sorrow of small companies, just like Lisman Films at the time."

Liam saw that the boss was interested in Summit Entertainment, so he said a few more words. Lehman also gradually discovered that in the timeline affected by him, not only Lionsgate’s business had not improved much, but Summit Entertainment relied on mining " The cash flow of the studio that was eventually acquired by Lionsgate in the "Twilight Saga" series is very tight-

In the past year or so during the reconstruction of the stock market, their performance and output have been greatly reduced. Even if they really want to let "The Hurt Locker" try to win prizes and make money, they can't put extra funds on public relations—like Starring Jeremy Renner, the Hawkeye actor, has to pay for several film critics' receptions.This should have been paid by the producer, and even the hotel pick-up and drop-off had to be arranged.

Moreover, even if "The Hurt Locker" wins the award, the promotion of the actor is far less than the promotion of the director Catherine, but Jeremy did just that.This guy has a very good personality and doesn't care too much, and he is considered to be a more Buddha-like person-the eagle-eyed temperament is very suitable for him, and he will not fight for the position.

With so many roles in a movie, there are always people who set off and sacrifice.

"Is that so? Then you will collect a detailed and detailed information on Summit Entertainment and send it to me in a few days."

"Boss, have you taken a fancy to Summit Entertainment? But to be honest, this studio is of little value, and its favorable assets are wrapped in debt, and it is troublesome to acquire. Their most valuable film library copyrights are not valuable. many."

"Do you know Netflix?"

"Ok?"

......

It’s not that Liam didn’t understand, but Summit Entertainment really didn’t make any achievements.

At this time, most of the film industry follows a theory, that is, the 28th law-hot projects produce 80% of the studio's performance, in contrast, 80% mediocre works can only contribute 100% The output of 20 of them is often unable to pay back, and it becomes unprofitable inventory copyright.

The reason why the firefly rises so fast is because the 28th law does not apply to it. The profit is more, the loss is less, the natural cash flow is bigger and bigger, and the assets are more and more.

However, the emergence and progress of the Internet has changed the status quo of the film industry, but it is not obvious at this time.

Many people have seen the rise of Netflix and the power of their independent creative projects, but they have overlooked what the copyright of those old and bad films has brought to Netflix.

One of the interesting things about Netflix's performance report is that 80% of the squeezed inventory is in their hands, and the 20% of the best-selling works have produced the same market.

Because of their push and broadcast system, the cost of a project’s attention has dropped sharply. Simply put, it is not what the audience wants to watch, but how Netflix lets the audience watch it.

In the era of big data, it can easily pinpoint an audience’s movie-watching preferences and constantly push similar movies to him. This is also the reason why the sixth part of the Deadly Shark series can be shot, because such a bad movie will also Someone is watching.

In other words, if it is a DVD distribution, you have to consider the cost of distribution. It is a waste of worthless copies. However, in Netflix's system, even unpopular movies cannot hold up search and fun clicks.This is the flow.

Lehman has always thought about streaming media, but the time is not ripe and I haven't tried it. But think about it, it’s no harm to make arrangements in advance and save more film and television copyrights-at this time, you can’t create the benefits you deserve and there is no future .

Why did Sony take MGM's film library?Because they want to become the leader in the home audiovisual product market, they now have the largest share; the time period when Netflix took off was also the time when Netflix broke up peacefully with Disney and moved to invest in production.

A very simple truth is that as a channel platform, the thickness of film and television copyrights covers the lower limit of the platform, and the right to speak determines the upper limit of the platform's development. At this moment, Lehman wants to keep the basic disk first...
